You could not invent someone less suited to being president of the United States. Just lay it out for the undecided, verifiable step by step, and dare them not to draw the only conclusion reason permits. More

President Obama said, "The tide of war is receding." Wrong yet again. The tide of war is advancing as the United States withdraws troops and influence, as acts of war escalate against us in the Middle East. More

When you combine statistics about education, literacy, and electronic connectivity, Islam, unlike the rest of the world, must communicate to the masses through historical avenues -- agents like the mimbar, the mosque pulpit. More

A new study by climate researchers seems to prove beyond any doubt that -- hold on to your hat -- if global temperatures reach levels at which coral reefs are damaged, then coral reefs will be damaged. Terrifying! More

It is likely that the lives of ourselves and our children will be profoundly affected by the outcome of this election. We must implore God to inspire us to choose wisely -- or else prepare to endure the consequences of our folly. More

The media's extensive and exaggerated coverage of the "secret video" of Mitt Romney speaking to supporters about the culture of dependency ought to remind us of another "secret video" that was not so widely covered. More

Falling prices, falling incomes, declining value of real estate, and an inability to fund government debt and unfunded obligations -- this is what we have to look forward to barring immediate action. More

Watching the Middle East doings this week with any degree of care, news consumers can see quite clearly how mendacious officials, media and our enemies have created a false storyline about the uprisings in Cairo and Libya More

During elections, Democrats routinely claim that "Republicans want to go backward," implying that Republicans want to return to some drearily boring, less prosperous time. But what's really going on? More

Violent Muslim "heckler's vetoes" are having an effect upon traditionally recognized principles of free speech. The defense of freedom in the face of Islamist threats will require more brain and backbone in the future. More

The big difference between those who look at the world and see reality, and those who look at the world in desperate search of vindication for their irrational theories of moral equivalency and systemic injustice. More

It would behoove Hispanics to examine the facts of how African-Americans, the former largest minority voting bloc, are currently doing after such a long history of support for the Democratic Party. More

I cringe every time I hear a fellow Jew discuss abortion rights, free contraception, gay marriage, and Obama's greatness. But a certain portion of the American Jewish population will continue to worship him. More

Unlike his predecessor, who responded to an attack against America with vigorous and determined words, Barack Obama has responded to his 9/11 with tepid moral relativism and ambiguity about the perpetrators. More

Iran's Armageddon cult now has Obama at its mercy. After appeasing them for almost four years, Obama only has to make it through the next two months without the Middle East blowing up, and he's set for life. More

While crystal ball-gazing always is hazardous, the trail America's economy would follow, should President Obama's re-election effort succeed, has already been blazed. Just look across the Atlantic Ocean. More

As the debate over Iran comes to a boil, it's crucial to understand how the intelligence game gets played and inject a dose of what the national security side of the Reagan administration used to call "real-world intelligence." More

Just about every issue that progressives fulminate about is dressed up in the garish garb of equality. Progressives invoke equality as though there were no arguments against it, as though no decent, sane person could possibly have a beef with it. More

In a presidential election that appears headed for a photo finish, it may be coal that transforms itself into political black gold for Republican nominee Mitt Romney and into kryptonite for President Barack Obama. More

Both the DNC and RNC featured divisive internal splits, over platform and rules changes, respectively. The Democrats settled their fight with a top-down diktat. The Republican dispute was resolved by a compromise. More

It would almost be easy to feel sorry for Barack Obama having to give his acceptance speech with his record. Americans might feel sorry for him, if he hadn't spent the last 3½ years torturing us with demagoguery, bad policy, and overbearing regulation More

When I read the other day that food stamps are being used to buy pop tarts, cookies, honey buns, candy bars, corn dogs, taffy, and cheesecake, it finally clicked: liberal economic and social policies reward stoners. More

Given the left's propensity for calculated projection, and amid all their talk of conservative code words and "dog whistles," perhaps we ought to take a good look at the use of coded language at the Democratic National Convention. More

In much the way that "a picture really worth a thousand words," so, too, can a single word spoken at the right time, in the right context, make a point that a thousand words, less well-chosen, could not. More

When a bull or a bucking bronc rider at a rodeo gets thrown from the saddle, out comes the rodeo clown to distract both the animal and the audience while the fallen rider is pulled to safety. Bill Clinton's speech last night was something like that. More

Every writer in the Western tradition has regarded envy as contemptible. It is only among the followers of Saul Alinsky that envy is regarded as a good, because for them, it is a useful tool for gaining power. Envy is not an acceptable reason to re-elect a president. More

Obama's resistance to taking responsibility for problems, despite his frequent use of the first-person singular pronoun and his messianic promises during the 2008 campaign, have practical implications for the health of the nation. More

The terror-masters of Tehran hosted a meeting of 120 nations, members of the so-called Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). That these 120 nations are all also members of the United Nations should give us the deepest concern. More

This soap opera's got it all: two sham marriages, sexual perversions, and national treachery at the highest level. Naturally, the "mainstream media" refuses to inform you of it, but that's why I'm here. More

Can you believe that the fellow who called Obama an "amateur" is the same fellow who is going to formally nominate him to a second term, without having had his speech vetted? Who really occupies the chair in the Oval Office? More

The weight of "takers" over "makers" has degraded our economic functioning. The money isn't there in the entire economy to give huge segments of the population free cash, food, housing, and medical care. More

Our country's racial achievement is irreversible, whether Barack Obama leaves the White House after one term or after two. It's just that all of us, and black Americans in particular, will be better off if he leaves after one. More

Most Americans are unaware of this, but there is a massive Arab community in Latin America, constituting roughly 25-30 million people. Iranian and Islamic oil money has waltzed into South America on a campaign of Islamization and anti-Zionism. More

Before the pundits start telling you the Romney campaign stepped into a time-warp on the subject of Russia, it's worth considering that Russia is asserting its interests the way large, dictatorial, and resource-rich countries do. More

New York's Mayor Bloomberg recently stated that "'opening the doors to all who want to come here and work' is a cost-free way to help the economy quickly." There are a few easy ways to prove this statement utterly false. More
